I was humbled to learn that our paper proposal to the American Educational Research Association won the Design & Technology SIG Outstanding Research Presentation Award 2013! The news was announced on the AERA website and on UC Berkeley's Graduate School of Education website.

The paper, entitled Technology Integration to Scaffold and Assess Students' Use of Visual Evidence In Science Inquiry, describes the redesign of the WISE Mitosis unit to incorporate new technologies toward supporting students developing observational skills in cell biology. My co-author, Marcia Linn, and I will be happy to receive the award at Design & Technology SIG Business Meeting, which takes place on Saturday, April 27 from 6:15pm to 7:45pm at Parc 55, Third Level - Mason, in San Francisco.
